Mining Dashboard KPI Design provides a compact evaluation framework built from fleet availability, energy use and rejected shares.
Monitoring is useful when a reading leads to a defined action. Select a small set of operational signals, establish normal ranges and retain enough history to distinguish noise from a persistent fault.
Fleet Availability
Normalize fleet availability before using it in a table or calculation. Convert units, align the time period and retain the original value. If energy use comes from a different source, document that source separately so readers can reproduce both sides of the comparison.
- Evidence: a dated record for fleet availability.
- Cross-check: compare it with energy use.
- Review trigger: repeat the check after a material change affecting fleet availability.
Energy Use
Use energy use as a testable input, not a general description. Record what produced the value, the interval it covers and any exclusions. Compare the record with rejected shares only after both use compatible boundaries; otherwise the apparent difference may come from definitions rather than performance.
- Evidence: a dated record for energy use.
- Cross-check: compare it with rejected shares.
- Review trigger: repeat the check after a material change affecting energy use.
Rejected Shares
Treat rejected shares as one layer of the system. Ask who controls it, how often it changes and which record can verify it. Its connection to fleet availability should be explained explicitly, because two correlated values do not automatically prove that one caused the other.
- Evidence: a dated record for rejected shares.
- Cross-check: compare it with fleet availability.
- Review trigger: repeat the check after a material change affecting rejected shares.
How to display mining operations without misleading aggregates: evaluation sequence
- Write the exact decision involving fleet availability.
- Collect energy use using the same observation period.
- Test how the conclusion changes when rejected shares moves.
- Save the source values, conversions and date of review.
Reference for Mining Software and Monitoring
Verify the underlying context with CISA software-maintenance guidance. For values that change over time, use a current source and record its retrieval date.
